I plan on getting springs in the future, but after talking to some people who are replacing their entire suspension because of blown oem shocks, i'm kinda worried. I just wanna get lowering springs but i don't wanna blow my shocks. I don't want to slam my car just lower it enough to get rid of my current huge tire gaps. Are there any set of springs made just for our car and won't blow my shocks?

Any lowering spring will put more stress on the stock shocks. They'll
blow eventually, but some guys are hitting 10-20K+ miles without any
problems, I think. Depends on what spring rates you go for and how
big of a drop.

Progress, the H&R's and the Eibachs seem to have pretty ideal setups
for just springs. But do some searching, look at everyone's different
results and see how theirs did.

Andy is right, do some searching around and you will find your answers ;) You could go with the Eibach pro kit springs (1.5" all around).

1" front and 1.1" rear for eibach prokit
anyways im lowered with tein s tech springs on stock shocks. its fine for now. Just get yourself springs and lower 4x4:D and save up for aftermarket shocks just in case for the future.

Just get new struts and throw some neuspeed race springs or slam it on some coilover sleeves! :D
